We often view history from thirty thousand feet—focused on shifting borders, grand alliances, and troop movements. But the true heart of history lives in the individual: the personal letters written not for textbooks, but for a variety of reasons, and the quiet hope of being remembered.

My mission is to bring these forgotten stories to light and demonstrate why they resonate so deeply today. If your group is seeking a fresh, human-centered perspective on our shared past, I would love to present to your audience.

Attached, you’ll find an overview of my primary presentation topics. I also frequently customize talks around specific historical events, themes, or interests. Please let me know if you would like to collaborate on a presentation tailored specifically for your group.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to bringing these powerful stories to life together.
